Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct order of the phases in mitosis?
A
telophase, metaphase, anaphase and prophase
B
anaphase, prophase, metaphase and telophase
C
prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase
D
metaphase, anaphase, prophase and telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase. You can remember the order of the phases with the famous mnemonic: [Please] Pee on the MAT.

Detailed explanation-2: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct option is D Prophase-Metaphase-Anaphase-Telophase. Mitotic phase or M phase is divided into four stages. They are: Prophase-The first stage which is marked by the initiation of condensation of chromosomal material.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prophase – The chromosomes shorten and thicken. Metaphase – Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase – Chromatids break apart at the centromere and move to opposite poles. Telophase – Two nuclei formed after nuclear envelopes reform around each group of chromosomes.
